What a wonderful remembrance to your friend. I am sure she is looking down from heaven and saying "Well done, friend." I do not know where you live but I am also thinking your friend is glad she is not "down on earth" in this horrible storm we are in tonight.

About 2 years ago, she sent me a BIG boxes of fabrics, FQs and some precut 2" , 4" and 6.5" blocks, separated into plastic containers. She had cut a lot of blocks knowing that I can't use a rotary cutter (can't get leverage as I'm paraplegic). I thanked her for her generosity and thought she had decided not to open her online shop. She told me she thought I could use some of it for charity quilts. Within two month, she died from inoperatable cancer. She didn't tell me until close to the end.
This is a tribute to her using almost all of the 2" blocks she cut. So it is named, Vicki's Many Trips Around The World.

Terry, I'm sure Vicki is smiling down on you and admiring your creativeness and love that you put into her tribute quilt. I've lost a best friend to cancer also so I know the feelings you're experiencing. You'll be blessed with wonderful things and great memories of Vicki and you'll know she's with you each time you wrap youself up in this quilt.
